THE SOLAR FIELD
IN SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANTS

 Throughout the course it is discussed the concepts of radiation, solar resource assessment, sizing, performance
of a solar field, design point, solar collectors and its main elements, civil engineering, collectors' efficiency, etc.

The fundamental aim is that the course participants know both the design parameters of a solar field as all the factors that it depends, so that you can understand how to perform all actions related to the solar field, from the solar resource assessment to the commissioning.
